How can I reduce my energy bill by changing or contacting my energy retailer?

A Life Is New Team Answered by

Ask your retailer to review your current plan and compare its rates, supply charge and discounts with other offers in your area. Check whether you are receiving any concessions, rebates or eligible payment support, and ask if a better plan is available for your usage pattern. Reducing peak-time use, improving heating and cooling efficiency, and checking for billing errors may also help. Use the government’s Energy Made Easy comparison service, and contact your state or territory energy ombudsman if you cannot resolve a billing dispute.
